The centre is providing training to women in various categories of self help skills such as Tailoring Embroidery, Textile block printing, Biscuit-making, Bakery, confectioneries and condiments, the centre is also extending teaching in the making of plastic disposable glasses,

Now women in the centre, are not only confident of their skills but also are able to sustain them selves with a sizable income through these jobs.

The centre provides food, shelter and clothing to the inmates.

Periodically health camps are carried out with the help of Doctors, to care for the health problems of not only the inmates but also of the residents in the nearby colonies.

Our Visits:

3rd July:

Our volunteers, Prasanthi and Naveen visited the place and felt that this is a place to be supported. Shared with the team that we need to visit it again and set the date as 10th July.

It has been a very fulfilling visit though it was heartrending to see the girls and women who had undergone extreme trauma and torture in their lives.

The inmates here are joined either by Police or Women and Child Welfare Department. Most of them are rescued from trafficking, rape victims and victims of domestic abuse. There are girls who were rescued from marriages (at a tender age to older people).

Current Activity:

We planned to do a collection drive for this trust regularly and the first one would be on 7th August.
